Walked in to get a Jim Dandy (what's the big fuss?, sounds like a bloody toy) but there it was , a G45 std on the rack, big mistake, tried it...and took it home. The thing sounds like a piano, love it.
Great demonstration of the plugged and unplugged sound! Thanks for posting the review. What do you think of these when you compare them to Taylor’s American Dream line?
Both are great guitars. However, the Taylor in my opinion is a better acoustic. Although the Taylor is more expensive what you get is top spec. The Gibson’s a lot more dull sounding, whereas the Taylor has a more crisp and modern sound. As it is a Gibson studio, it is a very basic acoustic and is at the low end of the Gibson acoustic line. Its materials and hardware aren’t quite up to Taylor’s standards. But you do get nice tuners on the Gibson. Whereas the Taylor is more mid/high range. Although they are both dreadnaught bodied guitars, they both have complete different tone and it’s just up to you what you prefer. My advice is to watch reviews like these or go to your local store to try them both out. There are many other guitar brands that offer dreadnaught bodies, just Taylor is my personal preference. You can’t go wrong with any Taylor guitar. Check out the GS mini which is a smaller body guitar, they are not too expensive and they make great guitar too. Gibson make amazing guitars and dont get me wrong this studios a good guitar, it’s just Taylor’s are amazing.
@@willb8096 I wouldn't doubt your Taylor may be better. But I think the charge that the Gibson is "a lot more dull" is akin to ideas that stainless steel frets vs nickel has a huge affect on tone. It is a gross exaggeration. I own this Gibson and it is anything but dull. It projects extremely good and has a medium sparkle high end with good mids and clear, warm lows. My Taylor is a little better subjectively but I paid almost double the cost. So this guitar is easily the best value. Not beating your overall sentiment up. Just the idea that the Gibson is "a lot more dull"
Depends, if it sounds better for particular song through mic they use mic, if it sounds better through electronics, they plug in line, but mostly they use electrics, so plug in to the track recorder
I sometimes blend a plugged in signal with like stereo micing, if its needed for articulation, but a gibson should never need help with articulation lol.
@@suna.9809 Always microphone for me, but sometimes i'll use the pickup to send to an amp for effects can get interesting feedback from an acoustic too
It's not just my opinion. I've seen many others comment as well. Fishman Sonitone sucks ass! Can't believe they spec this with a $20 pick up found on $300 guitars. I wouldn't even consider a $300 guitar with one of those atrocious sounding things.
